Draft:Bidenisms

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bidenisms are the verbal gaffes[1], misstatements[2], and unconventional[3] remarks made by Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, throughout his political career.[4][5][6] These statements have garnered attention for their sometimes awkward[7], inappropriate[8], or factually incorrect[9] nature, often requiring clarification or retraction by Biden or his staff.[10][11][12]

History

[edit]

The term "Bidenisms"[13][14][15] gained popularity during Biden's tenure as vice president under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017.[16][17][1] It was inspired by a similar term, "Bushisms," which was used to describe the verbal slip-ups of former president George W. Bush.[15][18][19]
